А потом была поездка в Доминикану. Этот пост - ода местным жителям)

This post is devoted to Dominicans.

Tourist companies and guides frighten people half to death with terrifying stories about local people; that they walk around with machetes and will surely rob you as soon as you are beyond the hotel fences. But our trip revealed the truth! They are hospitable, open-minded, friendly and helpful! These short stories will prove it 😉

✨Once my husband accidentally went through a red traffic light; we were stopped by the police. A fine was looming over us. But when the police officer found out that we were from Russia he got so psyched about it, tried to remember some words and phrases in our language, joked and in the end let us go)

✨Another time we were heading to a restaurant but GPS led us to the wrong place. One local guy just literally dropped what he was doing and led us there.

✨One day we were eating out at the beach café. Our daughter, Kiki was dying for an ice-cream, but they had run out of it. The waiter quickly sorted the problem out by finding an ice-cream man.

✨One evening while we were having dinner, some people on a nearby table were celebrating their daughter's birthday. Before leaving they treated Kira to some birthday cake.

✨And now the icing on the cake.

We made up our minds to go to the Atlantic side of the DR. There, by pure chance, we got acquainted with local people. They were a woman of my age and her 5-and-a-half-year-old daughter. We splashed in the waves, built a sand castle and had lots of fun! Then when it was time to say goodbye, they invited us to their hometown. So the next day we hit the road! Joseline showed us around, then we went to their home, had some tea and chatted. After a while we all headed to the river that was in the vicinity of their house. We had the time of our lives! We are still keeping in touch)

So the bottom line is - trust but verify!

2.Mona Lisa by Leonardo da Vinci

И небольшая история.

Прошло несколько месяцев после изучения художников,Кира сидела и листала энциклопедию и закричала ''Mommy,Mo Li, Mo Li'' Что за Mo Li?
Подошла к ней, а там малюсенькая картинка Моно Лизы. Я была в приятном шоке))Все не зря,дети впитывают информацию как губки)

N.B. Я неправильно произнесла Edvard Munch,на английский манер )
